lite slowly moving good now even in small ways as i seen that there's some new alt used lite to trade and exchange it to btc after the trade, if all of this continue lite will awaken and rise up again together with btc.

Basically, the engineers are doing small batches of prototype productions, which are better than the old generation of Scrypt ASIC miners.

They then, dump the LTC to pay for the next batch of improved chips and so on, until they have something they can sell as superior commerical ASIC Hardware to what is currently being used.

As you can tell, the price of LTC has dropped by 25% recently.

------------------------------------

The new Innoscillion ASIC hardware is slated for release in September 2016 and LTC price this year will be marginally downwards, from the 25% drop seen already.

However, beyond this new ASIC hardware release this year: 2018 and 2019 the price will head upwards as the Block Halving comes into focus.

--------------------------------------------------

The Scrypt algorithm was designed to be ASIC resistant, unlike the SHA algorithm.

And, the reports are: the new Innoscillion ASIC hardware offers only 2.6X improvement over 2014's top ASIC hardware.

Therefore, the ASIC resistance design in non-SHA algorithms do have long-term disruptive effects on engineers scope for offering improvements on next gen hardware.

People will notice: the A2 was 28nm and new miner's improved performance appears to comes, mostly, from smaller size of 14nm.

Basically people need quick profits they don't care any tech related issues,LTC maybe will rise up next year but currently btc price is high,its still not really profitable unless will pump to above $10/ltc
